HIGH-TECH HOLLYWOOD HOME by Digital Trends Staff Inside a high-tech Hollywood home where everything is hidden In the latest episode of Genius Home, our intrepid hosts Caleb Denison and Ariana Escalante take us on a tour of a high-class hideaway in the Hollywood hills that goes to great lengths to conceal all of the home's component technologies.
